Strength and Her Dwelling

August 22, 2017

Strength and Her Dwelling is an experimental performance series that speaks on the creation and labor required to maintain a “home”. Referencing newlywed-ness and often over-informed decisions of a cis black millennial, she takes queues from Zora Neale Hurston’s “Their Eyes are Watching God”, marital advice passed on by family members and biblical teachings. The artist seeks to understand the function of “wife”, and how she creates her home, whether that be through physical, emotional or mental labor.
